once made on the mind will stay there
forever. Things forgotten will spring
up suddenly after years have passed.
Languages which have been learned IN
ones youth and forgotten have been
known to be recollected in the delirum
Of disease after very long time. One
would be surprised to know what is
stored in ones mind. and there Is no.
/ thing hidden which snail not be revealed.
/ God has but to touch the spring OF the
mind and what we hare been will come
TO light All that we have stored IN our
minds-every unchaste or impure
thought even-will come to sight IN the
bright light of eternity.
The ticking of watch may not be
heard al noon on Broadway, but IN the
quiet Of our bed-chambers at midnight
it ticks with startling loudness. so III
the eternal stiffness of the Hereafter
memory Will unfold itself
! PARDON.
Now what can be expected by us from
a God who is Just ? We have in memory,
conscience, aud reason formed mans
tlree-corncred prison and the three
dement's Of retributiOn can furnish no
way out. But the everlasting Gospel can
lherate us. "Thcre Is now therefore no
/ condemnation to them that are IN Christ
Jesus" This is the voice Of pardon, and
the only one.
